Bill Shine’s Wife Darla Complained She Couldn’t Use N-Word and Spread Conspiracy Theories About ‘Blacks’

by Caleb Ecarma | 3:15 pm, July 6th, 2018

The wife of Bill Shine — former Fox News co-president who just joined the Trump administration as White House communications chief — has a lengthy history of defending racists, promoting unfounded anti-vaccination conspiracies, writing about “Islamic Insanity,” and making racially-charged remarks on her social media pages.

At a glance, Shine’s online habits appear to be no different than those of many conservative American baby boomers. She uses her Twitter account to complain about what’s on cable news and reality TV, as well as moan about society going downhill because of millennials.

Shine’s Twitter habits even mimic the president’s at times.

“Wow, Vanity Fair loser @kurteichenwald on #AMJoy just called ‘Americans Dumb!’ & said Trump/Russia story ‘worse than 9/11.’ Loser! #MAGA,” tweeted Shine in late 2017.

Like President Donald Trump, Shine also regularly attacks CNN in her posts, styling her writing in his recognizable prose.

“What kind of Pimp Producers are at #CNN passing around the same guest #SamNunberg like a drunk whore 5 times #JeffZucker should be fired,” she wrote amid Sam Nunberg’s infamous cable news meltdown in March.

Her posts on the subject of race, however, divert from garden variety right-wing fare.

In response to Trump’s infamous “shithole country” comment, Shine agreed with the president and even posted a racist meme mocking the progress of African nations when compared to Europe:

Most people, worldwide, have lived in shacks much like those depicted by Mrs. Shine. This includes the people of Western Europe.

We just don't hear much about them other than ancient Egypt (and don't realize how many Egyptians were black, not Arab).

The ancient Egyptians weren't black, though. They were a Semitic people, not unlike today's Arab Egyptians.

Egypt was ruled for a while by pharaohs originating from the Kingdom of Kush, south of the Upper Egyptian Kingdom. They were black-skinned, sub-Saharan Africans. But interestingly, the Egyptians didn't write much about their skin color. What the significant difference between the Egyptians and the Kushites was, was the language. In the ancient world, skin color was rarely a basis for discrimination. Language was the determining factor.

Anyway, the Kingdom of Kush was just one of a number of sophisticated, advanced civilizations founded by sub-Saharan Africans.

The ancient kingdom of Tanzania is another.
